ROOMBA CLEANS UP WITH SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

ROOMBA CLEANS UP WITH SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING
Case study: "The end result was that Roomba soared to the top of Google's list of most-popular brand names searched in 2004. It placed No. 7 behind Louis Vuitton, Nikon and Tiffany, with the bulk of its traffic coming in during the crucial holiday selling season...

Roomba was a new concept whose novelty had the potential to generate widespread word of mouth. The company knew that the TV and radio ads would drive large numbers of consumers online to research the product before they spent $250 for it at Amazon.com or irobot.com or in retail outlets such as Sears, Home Depot or Hammacher Schlemmer.
